Acire's Designs

Well upon first meeting with Erica everything went well. I was planning a big wedding and wanted to get rid of some of the workload. I showed her pics of my vision and she stated she would give me her design from the pictures I provided. I felt very confident after our meeting. However, after the meeting there wasn't a follow up (which was promised, since I hired her 6 months prior to my date)when my date came close. I had to contact her to ask when we were meeting to go over our ideas. We were never able to meet up or really talk about how she was going to produce my vision. Not really sure why we were unable to do so but I know she was working and going to school. I felt like she didn't have time to give me what I wanted with that aspect but I left it alone I was fine with just seeing pictures.Plus I had already paid half of my balance. She had stated instead of meeting up she would provide me with pictures of my arrangements she had made. That was okay but she wasn't ready until the week of my wedding to send pictures -which I had to request them twice. Half of the arrangements were nothing like we talked about or like the pictures. She had stated that was the best she could do with my budget. We could have come up with a better plan but this was the week of my wedding. I then offered to purchase more material myself if she just design them like the pictures provided. The design was a simple design with 3-4 flowers in them. She told me not to worry she would figure something out . Then a couple days away from the wedding she refused to change her design at all. She then told me I could cancel the contract and not recieve any money back through a text message. I called to speak to her about the text she sent but she didn't want to talk and explained to me she could have her lawyer contact me. I basically had no options the week of my wedding to replace all arrangements so I only used half of Erica's she designed, I had to make the other half myself. Let me add at the beginning Erica was very pleasant until I wanted to see the arrangements before the wedding. She wanted to "surprise" me but I was not comfortable with that since I did have a vision. Overall, she showed up and also brought extra small decor that was nice . I was just very disappointed how she handle herself when it mattered most.

I’VE KNOWN ERICA AND ACIRE’S DESIGN FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF BEFORE MY WEDDING. I NEEDED ALL OF HER SERVICES; WEDDING PLANNER, WEDDING COORDINATER, FLOWERS & DÉCOR. SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND AS WELL. SHE CAN DO IT ALL IF YOU NEED HER TO. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH ERICA’S WORK. SHE IS INTUNED WITH WHAT YOU REALLY WANT FOR YOUR BIG DAY. SHE IS A GOOD LISTENER AND SHE ALREADY KNOWS WHAT TO DO AND HOW YOU INVISIONED YOU'RE DAY TO BE AT THE END OF YOUR FIRST MEETING WITH HER. BUT SHE STILL KEEPS AN OPEN MIND ON EXTRA THINGS OR THINGS YOU HAVEN’T EVER THOUGHT ABOUT. I THINK THAT’S WHAT MAKES HER SPECIAL AND GOOD AT WHAT SHE DOES. SHE IS THE BEST WHEN IT COMES TO THIS IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR WEDDING. ERICA IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL WHEN IT COMES TO PLANNING YOUR EVENT, WELL ORGANIZED, HAS A SHARP EYE FOR DÉCOR, BUDGET FRIENDLY, AND COMPASSIONATE. SHE POURS HER HEART AND SOUL INTO EVERYTHING SHE DOES.THE NIGHT BEFORE AND THE DAY OF, SHE TRANSFORMES INTO A DIFFERENT PERSON, SHE WAS IN WORK MODE. SHE SAID LETS GET TO WORK PEOPLE NO TIME FOR ERRORS!!!WHEN SHE OPENED THE DOORS TO THE CHURCH ON MY WEDDING DAY I SAW THE FLOWERS, DÉCOR AND IT WAS BREATHTAKING. EVERYTHING WAS EVEN MORE PERFECT THAN WE COULD HAVE IMAGINED! I COULDN’T STOP CRYING BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT WE WORKED SOOOO HARD ON WAS DISPLAYED FOR EVEYONE TO SEE. ERICA MADE ALL OF MY DREAMS COME TRUE AND I LOVE HER FOR THAT.MY FAVORITE PART WAS EVERYTHING, FROM THE FLOWERS TO THE CENTER PIECES TO MY BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET, AND MY BRIDES MAIDS AND MAID OF HONORS BOUQUETS. ALSO THE BOUTONNIERES AND THE CORSAGES WERE OH SO LOVELY. THE RECEPTION WAS MORE INTIMATE, ELEGANT AND GORGEOUS WITH EVERY STEP I TOOK. THANKS ERICA I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOU. YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!!

I would not hesitate to recommend Erica to anyone for flowers and decor for their speical event. I met Erica 5 months before my wedding, I had no idea what I wanted as far as flowers and decor. I told Erica a few ideas that I had for centerpieces, but other than that I gave her complete creative control. Prior to the wedding she sent me a few sneak peek pictures, but not to much. On the day of the wedding when I walked into the church and ceremony hall the decor and flowers were breathtaking. Everything was even more beautiful than we could have EVER imagined!!!!! I was beyond pleased with Erica as a person and Erica as a professional. Erica was very professional, organized, and compassionate about the work that she does. She made my life a little bit easier during the stress and excitement of wedding planning. My friends, family, and loved ones, to this day, are still talking about how beautiful everything for my wedding was and what an amazing person Erica is. Anyone that signs on with Erica and Acire Designs prepare yourself to be the talk of the town for months to come!!!!!!!!

Wow, I am not sure where to start. I hired Acire's Designs 7 months ago to give me the wedding of my dreams. I had chosen and paid for a venue that canceled my wedding the day before my wedding. Acire's Designs had already had her vision and design of the chosen place. I contacted her 17 hours before my wedding in distress informing her that it was a possibility that my venue would be changed in the event that we found somewhere else. Thank God we did however this threw me in panic mode. At 7pm that evening she rushed over to the new venue again having less than 1 day to develop a new vision. My wedding was yesterday, I was very worried as I had no idea what would happen and how things would look given that she was operating on hopeless time to do a full ceremony and reception. Before I even walked down the aisle and as I approached the ball room I was hearing comments like "you are going to cry", "oh my this is breath taking" and "this is classic" from my guests. Long story short; the decor and what she delivered was PRICELESS! I was told by my mother-in-law that our wedding was the most beautiful wedding that anyone in the family had ever had. It was so nice that everyone was looking for the person that had created such beautiful designs to meet her personally. Effecient, dedicated, budget-friendly, customer-service oriented, and diligent; I will use Acire's Designs for ALL of my future events. Next project is redesigning my home. Creations that you can count on 100% with no worries. Perfect for a stressed out bride, you are sure to be delighted!!

Erica did a great job and I loved my flowers. She was timely and professional. I would definitely recommend her services to others!

Erica is epitome of the consummate professional. She pours her heart and soul into every design and arrangement. I have been extremely pleased with all of the arrangements she has created for me; most of which have been given as gifts to family and friends who were overwhelmed with the beauty and quality of her creations. Erica is a perfectionist and goes above and beyond too exceed her customers' expectations each and every time.

Erica provided all the floral arrangements for my wedding and reception. We wanted red roses but could not afford to do real flowers. She did a mixture of white and red which we adorned the tables and fireplace mantels. She made simple arrangments for the bridesmaids and a beautiful bouquet for me. The true test was when a friend came up to me and asked if she could smell my bouquet! They looked so real!!

I would absolutely recommend Acire's Designs to future brides! Erica takes the time to listen to your vision for your flowers and centerpieces, and she creates what you envisioned and more. I am so pleased to have her designs as a part of my upcoming ceremony. Erica is very professional, well organized, and compassionate.
